"Sugar Hart of Philadelphia, an 11-5 underdog, won a split 10 round decision over Ralph Dupas of New Orleans last night before 2,846 paying fans at the Miami Beach Auditorium. Hart, winning his 26th bout in 31 starts, forced the action in every round and landed the harder punches; but fast-stepping Dupas landed the most leather and did the most damage. Hart required three stitches on the brow of his swollen right eye, and his nose bled profusely in the 9th round. Dupas suffered a nick on his left brow in the 10th. There were no knockdowns." -United Press International
